Adults with disabilities are often left feeling unaccepted by their peers, unaccepted for things out of their control. While there are certain disabilities that you can hide, others are inescapably obvious. As a society, we gravitate towards hiding those that are different. We put them in the back. We don’t give them the spotlight. This project is about giving Steph the spotlight, about celebrating her abilities, and about raising awareness for adults with disabilities and the challenges they face. It is a reminder of the power of kindness and acceptance.

"This project is about people recognizing Steph. She has something of value to offer. We are promoting awareness and positivity that transcends any abilities or disabilities." - Barbie Perry

Steph created her first design with her favorite colored markers. Barbie photographed it and sent it to Chelsie to prep it as a print-ready vector file. This process consisted of Chelsie tracing the design on an iPad Pro, vectorizing and coloring it on Adobe Illustrator, and adding a special “Steph Perry” credit to the bottom. The stickers went into production like any other project and landed in Steph and Barbie’s hands soon after.

The color palette for the Steph's Stickers brand was inspired by a necklace that Steph made herself that featured some of her favorite colors.
